Hey wanted to check in. Give me an update when you can. |
| Kelly |
My printer is in the shop. The guys at zyltech think that device fried my psu and that killed the board. I am picking it up on thursday |
| Brian |
Ah crap. that is not good. |
|
do you have the wiring setup? |
| Kelly |
They will have it up and figured out on monday or Tuesday. No I don’t. I was going to make sure everything worked before I wrote it down. |
| Brian |
ah shit. Sorry about that. Yellow wires to the board, correct? |
|
Is the PI still working? and did it continue to work even after you had it all connects? |
|
connected that is? |
| Kelly |
No the pi survived. |
|
Yellow wires (hot.) went the board |
| Brian |
so one yellow and one black to the main board. 12v, if I remember you have at least a single Mosfet, so another yellow and black to the mosfet. |
| Kelly |
Actually I dont know if the pi survived. I haven’t logged into It but I plugged it in and the lights came on. |
|
Yes I hooked up the 2 mosfets |
|
They will tell me what went wrong on Monday or tuesday |
|
The guys at zyltech are really good |
| Brian |
I feel terrible. Please let me know ASAP what went wrong. I am curious, did you test the output voltage on the ATX supply prior to connecting it to the main board? |
|
Essentially, I am trying to figure out if there is something in the instructions that I have wrong. |
|
Does the PI power up with the original power supply? |
| Kelly |
My power supply is a corsair gold 800 watt psu. The voltage is correct on it. |
| Brian |
wow. That is some supply. I guess go big or go home. |
|
Did you give everything to the repair shop to look at? |
| Kelly |
I used to build computers competitively and professionally. I spent 20 years building custom computers. I have ample supply of spare computer parts. |
|
Yes I did |
| Brian |
ok, including the board I sent? |
| Kelly |
They are just charging me 100 |
| Brian |
ah crap |
| Kelly |
I already paid them when I dropped it Off |
| Brian |
ah crap |
| Kelly |
Its all good |
|
They are also installijg a bunch of upgrades I didn’t install |
| Brian |
upgrades? Like what? |
|
just curious |
| Kelly |
New e3dv6, titan extruder, igus bearings, glass bed, stainless steel belt, and the ramps board |
| Brian |
essentially a new printer |
| Kelly |
So the stock board did me a favor when I fried it. Yes that’s what i am hoping for |
| Brian |
Are they going to try to get my board working, or are they going to just put the old power supply back in.? |
| Kelly |
I gave them another corsair 800 |
|
No I told them to take it off |
| Brian |
ok, If you want, have them get in touch with me and I will be than happy to help. |
|
|
| Kelly |
I’ll send it back to you |
| Brian |
That would be great to get it back. I am interested to see what happened. Do you mind? |
| Kelly |
Ok I will do that. |
|
Not at all my friend |
| Brian |
Here is the everything. |

Ok cool When I get the printer back on Thursday and send it out same day |
| Brian |
I am so sorry about this. Regardless, I appreciate the help. I gather that all of the cable cutting and the screw connectors are a pain in the backside to deal with. |
| Kelly |
It was a pain on the old psu because the wiring is way different |
|
The corsair was a lot more streamlined |
|
When you say help what do you mean? |
| Brian |
OK, we have been working on another version of this device that uses a 24 pin molex connector so that there is no cable cutting. |
|
Meaning that if https://www.zyltech.com was going to try to use the board, have them call me (or something), and I would try to help them get it working. |
| Kelly |
Ok cool . I’ll see what they say. Hopefully the board you sent didn’t get fried |
| Brian |
If it did, no worries. That is why this was a “Beta” |
|
I wanted to see what would happen in the field. This feedback always helps with the viability of a product. |
| Kelly |
Oh good |
| Brian |
If it is ok with you, I am going to post that the testing was a bust and that you are sending it back. |
| Kelly |
Yes please |
| Brian |
ok. thank you for everything. I appreciate the help with this. When we have the second iteration, I will give you first shot at it. There is no harm/no foul to say no. You feedback is appreciated. |
| Kelly |
Ok that works! |

Amazing. I learned through this post that there is a repair shop for 3d printers in my zip code. Obviously Kelly and I live right next to each other! Never knew zyltech existed.
